Dallas police searching for group of thieves who targeted four popular restaurants early Tuesday morning

Police are investigating four Tuesday morning break-ins that left Dallas restaurants cleaning up the mess.

Thieves struck Mr. Mesero in the 4400 block of McKinney Avenue around 2:50 a.m. They pried open the door and took an unknown amount of property, according to a police report.

About 90 minutes later, thieves pried open the door to Primo’s Bar and Grill, two miles away in the 3300 block of McKinney Avenue. Officers responded to an alarm at the restaurant and discovered the thieves had attempted to pry open an ATM. There was damage to the ATM, but no money was taken from it.

Thirty minutes later and nearly six miles away, thieves targeted Dave and Buster’s in the 9400 block of North Central Expressway. Thieves smashed the front door, tried to unsuccessfully pry open an ATM and stole $50, police said.

Around 5:30 a.m., police responded to Jakes Restaurant in the 2400 block of North Henderson Avenue, where thieves had broken in through a glass front door. They unsuccessfully attempted to burglarize a safe.

Police say surveillance cameras at Jakes captured a glimpse of three men driving a four-door silver 2008 Dodge.
